The Traditional

**The Traditional** is a Buffalo, NY-based indie rock/punk quartet known for their raw energy and introspective lyricism. Formed in 2012, the band—featuring Anthony Musior (vocals/guitar), Sean Huber (guitar), Jeff Rosen (bass), and Mike Bienias (drums)—has carved out a niche with their emotionally charged anthems and DIY ethos. Their sound blends gritty, melodic hooks with candid storytelling, earning them a loyal following in the underground scene. Releases like *How To Live Without Blood* (2021) and tracks such as *The Queen of Heaven* and *She Don’t Know* showcase their knack for balancing cathartic aggression with vulnerable, relatable themes.

Touring relentlessly and sharing stages with acts like Have Mercy and Elder Brother, The Traditional thrives on connecting with fans through their heartfelt live shows. Their music often grapples with themes of self-doubt, resilience, and human connection, wrapped in a sound that feels both urgent and timeless. If you’re into earnest, riff-driven rock with a punk spirit, these Buffalo underdogs are worth a spin.
